Scripture
Ecclesiastes 1:1-6
Everything Is Meaningless
1 The words of the Teacher,[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”
“Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”
3 What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north;
round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.

Observation
Do not get too attached to material stuff. They do not last nor really add genuine meaning to our lives. They may be nice to have but not essential to our lives.
Application
Set your priorities. Know what really matters and what don't. The values that we have in life shape our being and how we live our lives. Certain things like material things do not last forever.
Prayer
Dear GOD,
show me the real meaning of life and what is true necessity in my life. Let me not be swayed by the ways of the world and indulge in stuff that are totally unnecessary.
AMEN.
